f.a.q.
I cannot access my server from another computer on internet. What are the required steps to enable broadcasting?
To solve all issues related to modem/router port forwarding, please visit portforward, select your hardware and select webcamXP to get the step-by-step tutorial.
www.portforward.comThe default ports that you have to open are:
- 8080 TCP for video stream
- 9000-9100 TCP/UDP for Windows Media Streaming
Another important step is to setup a static IP on the internal network (such as 192.168.1.100) to the computer running webcamXP, most routers will not accept to do forwarding if the computer is configured to use DHCP.
Finally, verify that no antivirus or other application might block and prevent webcamXP to send data over internet...
My IP Address keeps changing, what can I do ?In case you have a dynamic ip address you can simply solve that issue by subscribing to a dynamic redirection server like
dyndns.org and then under http settings type your dynamic name instead of your ip address.
do not forget to disable the automatic detection of ip address in webcamXP otherwise this parameter will be resetted at next software startup.
in order to ensure that the name is always linked to the current ip address of your computer, download and install DynDns Updater (free) and now you can use: http://example.dyndns.org:8080 instead of using the ip address and won't have to worry anymore about the ip address which changes from time to time.
Can I run webcamXP as service ?webcamXP Service is provided in available in all versions since webcamXP 5.3, The service version is automatically installed during the installation under the Windows Services and has the name "webcamXP Service" or "webcam 7 Service".
How can I stream audio and video at the same time ?Streaming of audio + video is only available in specific modes, it's the case in Windows Media Streaming mode for webcamXP and it's also possible in Flash FLV Streaming mode in webcam 7. The other streaming modes (javascript, flash, etc...) do no support audio.
Can I retrieve audio from my network camera ?This is only possible with a few models (mainly Panasonic and Axis) and using webcam 7 together with a template supporting audio (only MPEG4 or RTSP template might support audio decoding as well).
What kind of PCI card with analog inputs can I use ?It's possible to use common card equipped with a conexant bt8x8 chipset together with the free and opensource driver named btWinCap. This only works under Windows XP 32-bits as this has not been ported to other operating systems.
Such configuration might not be suitable for all features because those cards can only monitor one input at time and has to switch between the inputs which makes it not usable for purposes such as multiple sources recording or multiple sources motion detection.
To setup a security system, it's suggested to use network cameras instead...
